France Telecom-Orange will release Tizen 2.0 devices from Samsung and Huawei this year

Tizen's holding a posh little shindig here at Mobile World Congress to officially launch the Tizen 2.0 OS, which was recently released to developers (but not regular rubes like us). In addition to showcasing the operating system, which we just got hands-on with (coming soon!), the company announced a bit of news: France Telecom-Orange will sell Tizen 2.0 handsets this year, with devices from both Samsung and Huawei. Unfortunately, we don't have any more specifics to share, but we have to say, that was fast! The folks at Tizen don't play, do they?
